"Traversing the era of \nthe British Raj, the Partition and India’s Independence to the here and now \nof the Internet millennium, the story of six sisters of a patriarchal Muslim \nfamily, is investigated by a journalist. Before coming of age, the sisters \nhad run away in the deep cover of the night from a Haryana village to define \ntheir lives and destinies. Began an undeclared game of may-the-best-sister \nwin. Earn money, express inchoate talents in the arts, hook the richest \nhusband, raise the next generation right – these were just a scattering of \ntheir to-do list. Through confidences and vignettes, updates and interviews, \nthe Mumbai journalist travels between Delhi, Ajmer, Mount Abu and London, to \nrecreate the narrative of a confederacy of women who dared to break the rules \nway before they were written. The story – blending fact and fiction – could \nhave been chronicled only by one journalist, the grandson of one of the \nsisters."
